Balloon Skirts Anyone?

Good to see that our fashion predictions for 2006 are backed up. Take a look at Jean Paul Gaultier's contribution to the spring 2006 couture shows, for instance. Apart from a generally mind blowing collection, he's also bringing out plenty of bubbly skirts, dresses and pants to add to the balloon-trend. We can't get enough of images such as this, where he's teaming up a black, chiffon halter-neck dress with a pair of lichen-green coloured tights... simply divine!
